I fell in love with her from the moment I saw her, still a senior in high school, and after 21 years of being together, the feeling was still there. My prayers are for the entire family, especially Janet and Brad.

My dear sister. I can't believe you're gone. The rest of life on this Earth will never be the same. Someday I will see you in Heaven, because I know we are both going there.

I send my condolences to her family and friends. I was devestated to hear of Kim's passing. My prayers go out to her family that they may find peace during this time of grief. I loved Kim and feel my life was better for knowing her. I miss her and hope to see her again someday when I join her on the other side.

Janet, I was so very sorry to read of your daughter Kimberlee's passing. Toby and my daughter Stacy Smith were baby sat by Thelma and Bob Rhynes and both were in their son's wedding when they were around four. My most sincere condolences to you and your family at this very sad time.

I first met Kim when she was 19 and attending college. We remained close throughout the years. She was a very sweet person - great sense of humor. She will be missed by so many

I just learned today that Kim passed away. I went to high school with her. But I knew her before that-when we were little we were both in the Indian Maidens with our dads. We didn't keep in touch since we were so little, but then lo and behold, we found that we were at the same high school. Kim was a super sweet person and I'm so sad-I will truly miss her and my prayers go out to her family

Dearest Kim,

You are already so greatly missed. Your big heart, your sweet voice, your intelligence and your quirks left their mark on this world and on people who were fortunate to know you. This world is missing something without you, and we look forward to the day we will see you again, for we take comfort in knowing this life is only temporary and forever will be so much sweeter.

Sincerely,
Ben and Andrea (and Gideon!) Cude

We were Kim's neighbors. I remember when we first moved in how Kim invited us into her lovely home and showed us her very special dogs. She was very kind, we will all miss her.
